Vive Calf Brace Compression Circulation Outdoor Recreation Review

I broke my fibula and needed something to support my calf I no longer need a hiking boot and it should be one that zips up and doesn't slip so it can no slips bother my bone also it is adjustable because my foot was swollen during the day. This calf bandage supported this purpose excellently and the price was right. The velcro held up well for 3-4 weeks when I used it and although I see some people saying that the velcro broke after a few months of use, I think this should be attributed to any…

They are great. I have large calves, which can be a problem with these versatile pieces. But the description says up to 20 inches and they are correct. Velcro fasteners are incredibly durable. Velcro surface is very thin, not cheap scratchy. You can set the width very small if you have thin calves. They can be tightened as tight as you like :) They are easy to fit and contoured to fit the natural curve of your lower leg. They can be washed. I have no complaints or ways to improve these…

I'm a runner and I ended up hurting my shin because I was messing around during training. I have several different compression sleeves, different brands and different sizes. Some were too loose, others had perfect compression on my shins and calves, but to have that much compression they were too tight around the ankle.

I recently retired at 60 and am trying to play softball again after 25 years in the office. I ended up pulling my calf muscle from my Achilles tendon to my knee.

I recently played the game and am happy to report that I didn't experience any tension or pain while running. Calf bandages are suitable for everyone, unless you have very large calves. I'm a regular height…

I bought a VIVE calf brace to see if it would help with the circulation issues in my legs. I have bad valves in my lower extremities which causes pooling, poor circulation and swelling in my legs and ankles. I've been wearing branded brown bandages for a number of years and find them bulky and expensive. I also think I got the wrong length as I have to put on tops which makes it difficult to wear. I bought a VIVE calf brace to see if it would provide enough compression to help blood flow in my…

I am 69 years old and overweight. When my doctor told me I needed to buy and use compression stockings to treat my condition, I told him straight out that this wasn't going to happen. Almost 10 years ago when I was (slightly) younger and losing a lot of weight I had to wear compression stockings but never did because I could never put them on or take them off. Knowing how important it is to wear compression stockings with this condition, my doctor told me that this is the only thing that will…
